Pedal Power!

George has owned a little tricycle since he was two years old. The art of pedalling it has defeated him completely. On Saturday, we gave up flogging the proverbial dead horse, packed the trike in the car to pass on to my friend's grandson, and bought him a new bike from Argos.

It's this one in the picture. I thought that having his weight above the pedals may help him finally realise what was supposed to be happening. Tonight, at the grand age of 4 years and 3 months, George finally pedalled his bike across the kitchen. He was so delighted and excited that he was jumping up and down on the spot afterwards. Yay for George the cyclist.
